Houston is one of the largest local calling areas in the country. Basic exchange rates for one-party, two-party, and four-party lines are for the line only. "Economy service" (with 25 free calls) is only available at some COs. The local calling area is about 40 miles by 40 miles, with a population of about 3,000,000 people. Of course this must be balanced with SWBell's current attempt to charge BBSes in Houston at Business rates. --- Peter da Silva, Xenix Support, Ferranti International Controls Corporation.
